An Important Work on the n. p.

Mr.. Nelson Bennett, brother of the firm
of Bennett Bros. of South Butte, dealers in
agricultural implements. was met by The
MINER representative yesterday and fur
nished a few particulars Of the immense
contract he has undertaken OF running a
tunnel $3.50 feet long through the Cascade
Mountains for the Northern Pacific road.
The work was begun on both ends nearly
simultaneously-that on the west end
on the first OF last .September.
that on the east end about a month earlier.
The name of the tunnel is the Stampede
tunnel, so called because it goes under
Stampede Pass. The contractors have
about 325 men at work altogether. They
are now about 1000 feet in on each end.
They are working at the rate OF fourteen
feet a day. seven on each face. They cannot
work shafts as they would have to sink
about 1, 100 feet which would pot be feasible.
The m ajor portion of the tunnel hasto be
timbered, as the rock is not solid enough
stand without support. 1t is hard to
blast. but disintegrates or exposure to the
consequently great care has
to be taken in making a thoroughly sub
stantial framework. which will withstand
the vibrations of the heavy trains that
will pass through. At the present rate OF
progress it will take about fourteen months
to complete the work. Mr.. Bennett is
spending a few weeks leisure among
his friends in this section, and returns to
the work on the Cascade about the 26th.

proved TO be a summons for him to 20 to
tne Blue Bird mine and hold an inquest. In
a lew minutes he was facing a stiff e~asterly
wind on his way to the mine where he ar.
rived about $3.50. There he found that a
poor fellow named John Gambon had been
crushed between the cage and timbers o,

The Eastern Star Ball.

Last evening Renshaw's hall was the
scene of the most successful society bal
given in Butte this season. The ladies Of
Ruth Chapter undertook to make it a sue.
cess and they fully accomplished
all they undertook. They have
been theoretically at work for weeks past,
canuassing among all whom they could get
near and the result was the large assem-.
blage OF the elite OF the city present last
evening. It would be a n invidious task to
decide who pore off the palm for superior
attractions where there were so many fresh
faces, handsome figures and bewilderinR
costumes. Butte presented her fairest
daughters and matrons last evening, and
such an era Of mirth, jollity and good
feeling generally has never been surpassed
here-seldom equalled. There were nearly
twodozen fremen present, Tall, strong, we'll
knit frames surmounted by frank, open
c~ountenances, they presented a picture OF
healthy strength of which any city might
well feel proud. They and the Knights oil
Pythias were all the society men present
ia uniforms. but besides these there were
members OF the Patriotic Sons OF America,
the Grand Army of the Republic, Ruth
Chapter and several Knights Templar.
There were $50 couples in the grand
march, which was led by the Knights OF
Pvthias. ,rhe name OF the march was
"The Knights March, and was declared by
all who heard it one of the prettiest ever
ola yed here. Among Others there were
many Daughters of Rebekah present. A
long programme OF dancing was carried
out.
The officers Of the chapter present were;
Mrs. George Morse, Matron (who Looked

Tho Han That Licked Mcdonald.

The Minneapolis Tribune has this to say
Of the opponent Of our townsman: :
The result of the Killen-McD Donald fight
in Minneapolis last week wa q surprise to
everyone and q great disappointment to
the friends of Mcdonald. Had the Butte
City boy not been SO anxious to force the
fighting the result might have been differ
emit. He knew, for his friends had toll him,
that Killen was a strong and powerful fell
low, and one able to best him il he would
only fight as he knew how. For this rea-
son he should have acted altogether on the
defensive, and only have attempted to
land when the opportunity presented it.
self. Had he kept away from him for four
or five rounds the result might have been
different. Killen il certainly entitled to
some credit for winning this fight, for Nc
Donald is un~questionably q good man.
Still the great advantage he had in height
lessons the glory considerably. When the
t~ o stepped upon the stage together Friday
night there was a difference OF exactly
t~wenty-seven pounds in their weight, Killen
weighing 1876 and Mcdonald 1913 pounds.
The Duluth claimant to the Northwestern
championship evidently now has his head
swelled to almost twice its natural size.
He says Cardiff must meet him and settle
who has the better right to the title they
both claim. 1t is a pity that Cardiff's con-
tract with Sullivan prevents such a meet
ing, for q fight between them would be an
exceedingly interesting affair. Both men
are clever and big, strong fellows, and
one has about as much heart as the
other. What advantage Killen might
have in weight would be fully off
set by Cardiff's superior generalship.
Very few men have q better head
on their shoulders when in the ring than
Cardiff and, like Killen, a good hard
punch is likely to take all the fight out of
him. Probably, however, tue knowledge
of the fact that he is the only man who has
ever made a draw fight with Sullivan has
bolstered up his courage to the fighting point.
As for Killen's gameness, every one knows
he has none. A little incident, which &C.
Cured in Chicago shortly after Sullivan's
last visit to St. Paul, will illustrate this
pretty effectually. Pat Sheedy was talking
to "Parson" Davies in the latter's saloon
about Killen, when the big fellow from Du-
luth happened in. Sheedy repeated whathe
had been saying to Davies. 1t was some
thing to this effect:
Killeu, the Parson and I have just been
talking about you. Probably I had better
what 1 said to him. l said: "You
we're a big, strong fellow, but that you did
not have the heart OF chicken, and would
nOb HSnC any one unlesS yOu ud0 d uOTU-
gage on him that he would die before the
fight came off"
Killen simply shook his head and grunted
out something about looking for Frank
Glover and getting on a fight with him.
This caused Sheedy to reach down in his
and pull out a roll of bills. Taking
$50 from the pile, he turned to the big fel-
low and said: "l'l lay you $50 that you
even make q match with him." Kill
never said a word, but turned on his
heel and walked out. and, it il said, took
the next train for Duluth.
